Christmas Break

I'm officially on Christmas break just for today! I pulled out some birthday stamps and got my groove on with something other than Christmas!  Lex has a birthday party to attend at the end of the week and she is so excited about it.  They are taking a trip to Spa-a-rific.  At least I think that's the name of it.  It's a super cute spa place just for little girls.  They get pampered like queens.  This is perfect for Alexis since she is becoming a QUEEN more and more each day.  She now measures how tall she is by the Justin Bieber poster hanging in her room.  She knows she has gotten taller because her lips meet HIS on the poster.  Russ has to walk away because he just isn't ready for the "little girl" to grow up.  I on the other hand laugh hysterically because I remember doing the same thing to Scott Baio.  Ahhh… the good ole days!

My card today uses a set called Party this Way.  I was sad that this stamp set had not been pulled out sooner.  In fact it had never seen ink.  <GASP>  I love, love, love the pennant.  So many things you can do with it and these little pennants are HOT in the crafting world.  It's just like clothing… we have to keep up with the latest. 

Check this out…

I used Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette, Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze for the colors of ink and Patterned DSP.  I just stamped directly onto the Patterned DSP and cut the triangle image out for the center. The scalloped part of the pennants were stamped on Vanilla cardstock and cut out.  Most of the images are popped up using dimensionals. It's a pretty simple card except for the cutting.  I just love the detail when they are cut out.   I LOVE them.  I did use an antique white thread to string the pennants.  I don't think Shelli would be upset that I used this thread instead of Linen Thread. I love Linen Thread too.  It's just the bomb. 

Lastly, the Prince felt left out from the last post.  I had taken a bunch of pictures last night of all of us being completely silly.  You know how good that makes you feel. He wanted to know where his picture was? I will share this one with you because it makes me happy.  Excuse my crazy photo editing.  I'm learning a few cool things and trying them out.  I have a project I am working on using vintage photos. It's pretty exciting…

Anyhoo- here is the Prince!

That's my girl-SILLY!

I'm not really excited about my day tomorrow!  Its a trip to "The Dentist." This is the place I get sore from sitting in the chair because I'm stiff as a board and white knuckle the arm rest.  He does give the "gas" and I'm thinking a wiff or two may be in store for me. I've thought of nine million excuses on how to get out of going but I know I have to.  I can't have my new friend- The Dentist- get mad at me!  He knows I'm a complete wimp-therefore treats me extra special.  <sigh>  Wish me luck! It's just a filling!
